目的,最近的科学进步导致了预防性四价 HPV 疫苗的开发。我们直接调查了拉丁裔和非拉丁裔女性,以研究是什么促使她们为自己、她们的女儿和儿子接种疫苗。方法。一项书面调查针对 86 名拉丁裔和 141 名非拉丁裔,年龄在 18 至 55 岁之间,就读于学术中心的普通医学、妇科或儿科科室。该工具包括有关人口统计、对 HPV 疫苗的知识和态度、受访者的女儿和/或儿子对 HPV 疫苗接种的态度以及疫苗可接受性对女性对其性行为和宫颈癌筛查做法的态度的影响的问题。结果。对 HPV 疫苗的接受度很高,73% 的未接种疫苗的合格女性表示她们会自己接种疫苗。预防宫颈癌是寻求疫苗接种的主要动机。大多数受访者表示,疫苗接种仍应伴随宫颈癌筛查。 70% 的合格受访者同意为其女儿接种疫苗(97% 的拉丁裔母亲和 68.2% 的非拉丁裔母亲,p=0.0078)。 86% 的合格参与者同意为其儿子接种疫苗(拉丁裔母亲为 92.3%,非拉丁裔母亲为 76.9%,p=0.0490)。据报告,预防宫颈癌和预防肛门/阴茎癌分别是其女儿和儿子接受疫苗的主要动机。只有不到 20% 的合格受访者将保护妇女免遭宫颈癌视为为其儿子接种疫苗的动机。 结论:在符合疫苗资格的妇女中,她们自己、她们的女儿以及可能她们的儿子对 HPV 疫苗接种的接受度很高,主要动机是为接种疫苗的个人预防癌症。 (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
Objective, Recent scientific advances have lead to the development of a prophylactic, quadrivalent HPV vaccine conferring. We surveyed Latino and non-Latino women directly to examine what motivates them to vaccinate themselves, their daughters, and their sons.Methods. A written survey was administered to 86 Latinas and 141 non-Latinas, ages 18-55, and attending a general medicine, gynecology, or pediatric unit at an academic center. The instrument included questions on demographics, knowledge and attitudes toward the HPV vaccine, attitudes toward HPV vaccination for the respondents' daughters and/or sons, and the effect of vaccine acceptability on women's attitudes towards their sexual behavior and cervical cancer screening practices.Results. Acceptance for the HPV vaccine was high, with 73% of non-vaccinated, eligible women stating that they would vaccinate themselves. Cervical cancer prevention was the primary motivation for seeking vaccination. Most respondents reported that Vaccination should still be accompanied by cervical cancer screening. Seventy-percent of eligible respondent agreed to vaccinate their daughters (97% of Latino and 68.2% of non-Latino mothers, p=0.0078). Eighty-six percent of eligible participants agreed to vaccinate their sons (92.3%, of Latino and 76.9% of non-Latino mothers, p=0.0490). Cervical cancer prevention and anal/penile cancer prevention were the primary motivation reported for accepting the vaccine in their daughters and sons, respectively, Fewer than 20% of eligible respondents cited protection of women against developing cervical cancer as the motivation to vaccinate their son(s).Conclusions, Among vaccine-eligible women, HPV vaccination acceptance for themselves, their daughters, and potentially their sons is high and primarily motivated by cancer prevention for the individual vaccinated.
